The judges said

"The winner here is a well-designed site that clearly understands its users and their needs. It is elegant rather than flashy, and values user experience above extravagant design. By presenting well researched and interesting information in a clear and succinct interface, the winner does what far too many education sites struggle to do - it makes learning easy, interesting and engaging."

Entrant's description

Licence to Cook gives secondary school pupils the opportunity to learn how to cook as part of an initiative to improve school food and fight childhood obesity. Pupils are taught how to cook a nutritious meal, learn about nutrition, hygiene and safety, practical food preparation and wise food shopping.
The software, developed by Lightbox | 3T, provides online tutorials, activities and multiple choice assessments along with progress-tracking and reporting. The site caters for pupils in schools which do not offer food technology or cooking facilities for children.
Resources include video demos, interactives, lesson plans, recipes, and worksheets.
